"Unfinished Business" Wrapped Up

'There will be no school in Lowell today due to "unfin-
ished business/' or so one would call it. That was the message
broadcast over the radio on the morning of August 27, 1997. For
seniors, it meant a couple of extra days off and an extended
summer vacation. It meant two more days of relaxation while
construction workers put in double time in order to complete
what they could of the "unfinished business."

Little did students know what would greet them on that
Friday before Labor Day weekend; a cafeteria too clean and
bright to recognize, moldy orange carpet removed, brand new
lockers that we no longer had to share, the rush of clueless
freshmen, new classrooms, a library media center, and bells that
no longer deserved the title, since they were really "tones."

Talk about change! There was a newness everywhere;
the definite chaos of any first day of school, I.D. pictures, and
the annoying repetition of hearing how we shouldn't miss more
than twelve days of school...

The Class of 1998 was at the beginning of their end at
LHS. Surrounded by the challenges of dealing with a new and
almost fully improved high school, seniors watched happily
and almost with a hint of envy as the confused freshmen were
beginning a journey that they had come to wrap up in the
months ahead. Still to come would be the football games, the
excitement and craziness of Spirit Week, pep rallies, Arthur's,
the Harvest, the Prom, and graduation.

Seniors would be determined, despite the construction
and the changes, to make the 1997-98 school year one that no
one would forget. The challenges ranged from finding new
classrooms, to juggling sports and academics, and eventually to
finding a college or simply a life choice.

What the class may not have known on that first day of
school however, was just how precious that time left at Lowell
High School would be.

George D. Kouloheras

Educational Wing and Library Media Center

George D. Kouloheras

Buildings Dedicated October 26, 1997

George D. Kouloheras was born on January 26, 1913 in the Acre section of Lowell, the
first child of immigrant parents, Demetrios and Demetra Kouloheras. As a first generation
American of Greek descent, he is proud of his heritage as a descendent ofNikitaras, a hero of the 1825
struggle for Greek independence.

Mr. Kouloheras attended the Greek parochial school, the Bartlett School, and Lowell
High School where he was Regimental Captain Quartermaster of the Boy Officers Regiment. Mr.
Kouloheras attended Northeastern University Engineering School. Unable to find employment as
an engineer during the Depression, he entered the restaurant business prior to securing a position
asanengineeringanalystof experimental mechanics at the Thomson Laboratory of General Electric
where he worked primarily on the development of jet engines for forty years until his retirement.

Married to Stella Athanas, Mr. and Mrs. Kouloheras raised five children, all of whom
attended the Bartlett School, Lowell High School, and college. As PTA President of the Bartlett
School, he fought for the rebuilding of the Bartlett after it was destroyed by fire. This began his 50
year involvement with public education in Lowell, 35 years of which have been as an elected School
Committeeman on either the Lowell School Committee, the Greater Lowell Regional School
Committee, or both simultaneously.

Mr. Kouloheras ' contributions are innumerable, but the five accomplishments of which
he is most proud include... the creation of the Greater Lowell Regional Vocational High School... his
fight against gender bias and his support of female athletics, coed cafeterias, and honors by grade
point, not equal distribution among sexes. ..the development of the McDonough City and Arts
Magnet Schools. ..his suppport of the city-wide new schools building programs form the 1960's
through the current $170 million dollar expansion... his staunch support of the Lowell Public
Schools and his undying faith in its ability to address the educational needs of all the children of
Lowell.

In 1994, the Massachusetts Association of School Commitees awarded George D.
Kouloheras Life Membership in its organization. This year the Hellenic American School presented
Mr. Kouloheras with its Golden Lamp Award for his outstanding achievements. In February,
Commissioner of Education Robert Antonucci, presented a Certificate of Recognition for his years
of committed service and his guiding influence in the Lowell school system.

Mr. Kouloheras has felt blessed to receive this recognition. He was truly humbled
however, when his peers voted in 1996 to name the new Lowell High School Library Media Center
and Academic Wing in his honor.

1 he Wonder Years

NINETEEN HUNDRED AND NINETY EIGHT

We'd say we were never that little,
never that goofy, but the proof is in
the print! Freshmen Orientation Day
introduced us to Lowell High School,
its clubs, athletics and activities. The
tour was almost overwhelming.
Dazzled by the very size of the place,
we were sure we'd get stuffed into a
locker by some senior. Sure we be-
lieved there was a 6th floor.. .why
shouldn't we? In no time at all, though,
we were the seniors misdirecting the
unsuspecting!

Baby Pictures Class of 1998

We could never imagine ourselves as freshmen, but here's the proof!

"I remember being very scared .
I came from a tiny little middle
school to a huge two-building
high school. So many things
ran through my head. Would
any of my friends be in my
classes? Would my teachers be
mean? Would I ever find my
classes? It started out bad, but
ended up great!" ....Cindy Berrios '98

" Freshman year consisted of hallways filled with impressionable young
kids. 1 remember a group of friends that slowly grew apart over the years,
sorting through boyfriends like a load of dirty laundry.". .. .Julie Courchene '98

"During my freshman year, my memories are vague. I do remember think-
ing how large and complex the school seemed. 1 especially loved the feeling
of freedom that I had, though. 1 enjoyed the fact that I could walk around the
school undisturbed. It was easily the most exciting year of high school.
Everything seemed new and you cared about stuff." ...Phil Conners '98

'Thank God for friends. My best friend freshman year was a senior. She gave
me a tour of LHS so I wasn't so confused on the first day. The school seemed

so big and intimidating and upperclassmen were in a totally different world. I
It's funny how things change. LHS became as familiar as my own house. Thej|
thought of moving out already fills me with apprehension. I suppose being al
freshman in college will be interesting." ... Diliana Dejesus '99 ■

"I remember being a freshman like it
was yesterday . The years have passed
so quickly. We were always the little
kids who had to be careful we didn't
do anything stupid in front of the
upperclassmen. We though the pun-
ishment would be brutal . As we grew,
the fear disappeared."

...Billie Jo Rousseau '98
"Freshman year stunk. I was such a
little kid and nobody knew me. I had
no friends. I don't remember what
classes I even took back then. I re-
member how big everyone seemed to
me as I walked down the hall. I felt
like a little pipsqueak."

...Eamonn Sullivan '98

"Ah, to be a freshman again! New
faces, scholarships far from your mind
and plenty of parties. But the thought
of three more years of school hanging
over your head proved frightful. Day
by day we learned a little more of the
school and how things were run. Once
you realized it, you just sat back and
enjoyed the ride. "...Brian Monaghan '98

" Going into freshman year I told myself I wouldn't believe any of the stories
people told me about Lowell High. I had heard that there were fights every
day, and that seniors beat up freshmen. In reality, it wasn't that big a deal
coming here. It was confusing at first, but that was the worst of it and everyone
adjusted really quickly." ... Ben Chaput '98

"I made new friends and began some of the best friendships which still exist
today. Students we knew from junior high became people that you only saw
crossing the tunnel." ...Amanda Rushton '98

enior Portraits

"Here is the Class of '98 at our best. This is just
before stepping out into the real world, taking
risks we never considered before, meeting people
we could never have imagined."

...'98 Rod Day

"I'll always remember how expensive senior year
was.I never spent so much in my life. The next
thing would be loading my schedule with elec-
tives. The third thing would be getting freshmen
to believe anything! "Any of you guys want an
elevator key?... Don't worry. IPs supposed to be
cardboard." The fourth thing would be the great
Harvest fiasco. It turned out that of the 3000+
students in the school, 400 were juniors who
bought tickets, despite the rumors! Lastly, I will
remember senioritis. I had a bad case of it ever
since last May when the old seniors left!

16 th Annual College Fair Gave us a Glimpse of the Future

Students from 20 area high schools
attended the 16th Annual Merrimack
Valley College Fair at LHS to meet
with representatives from over 130
colleges and universities. The U.S.
Army dazzled us first with free plastic
carry bags and then we had a hard
time deciding which brochure wa sthe
most impressive. Price was outrageous
no matter who we asked, ranging from
$9,000 for state schools to $30, 000 for
private universities, room and board
thrown in.

We'd "Be all we could be.." allright, but before that could happen we had to
get through our senior year, satisfy all our course requirements, pass the SAT's
or TOEFL's, survive the process of applications and recommendations, con-
vince our parents we weren't choosing a college just because it was listed as
"the party school of the east," talk our way though an interview, and then
scrape together a financial package that would allow us to have enough money
left to buy toothpaste.

Merrimack Valley College Fair

Notice our Bridgewater State College
and Assumption catalogues. ..tune in
to our tenth reunion to see how it all
panned out. The MassPlan loan ap-
plication was probably the most im-
portant piece of literature we could
have found.

This is probably the place . ..far enough
away from home for a bit of indepen-
dence and reasonably priced enough
that my parents won't have to auction
the family car. They'll thank me some-
day.

This was our lucky day ...one of the reps thought Heeley's glasses were so cool,
he offered him a full boat for four years... or maybe it was that guy in the
uniform that promised him adventure and tuition reimbursement?

They hooked us. ..our future was cast
in stone.. .we figured right there that
we would be career students. ..school
was out life.. .our destiny. ..all other
pleasures would wait while we pur-
sued advanced degrees. ..or would
we?

Homecoming 1997 Style!

The Brainchild of the Pep Club: 1st Annual Homecoming Float Parade

It seemed as though nobody
knew about the activities surround-
ing the First Annual Homecoming
Parade. It was something that would
have to catch on. But, for those who
did take part, the night was one of
chaos, excitement and layers of
clothes. We picked one of the coldest
nights of the year to hold the parade
which had us march from the Ayotte
Garage, around Lowell High School,
up Merrimack Street, and down
Arcand Drive to LHS, then into the
heat that awaited us in the gym.

So began the shortest pep
rally in the history of Lowell High.
The band opened the rally with the
"Hey Song" to get the kids heated up.
The cheerleaders proceeded to do
what they did best, giving 100 of their
spirit when it was needed most. The
slightly smaller than expected atten-
dance didn't keep anyone from hav-
ing a great time that Ocober 24th
evening, when the crowd found the
whole purpose of the rally was to
announce the winners of the float
parade. The seniors won and no one
could imagine why! The crowd then
filtered to the cafeteria for a super
dance where they shed layers of jack-
ets and sweatshirts as the dance heated
up and continued through the night.

So ended the first round of
Homecoming events spearheaded by
teacher Kristin Gregorczyk and her
Pep Club activists.

The grand finale would be
the crowning of our Homecoming
Queen, Lisa Gianis, on October 26th.

Amanda Rushton '98

'The odds were stacked. How could a brightly
decorated, rusty old pick-up truck ever possibly
defeat the lavishly ornate and high spirited
behemoth floats of the underclassmen?"

...Chris Hickey '98

"This year's seniors decided to showcase their position as "The
Big Kahunas" of Lowell High. To demonstrate this, we transformed
my pick-up truck into a paradise of tissue flowers, pineapples, tiki
men, hula girls and tropical Hawaiian fish. Topping off the tropical
trophy was the very convincing palm tree. The real centerpiece to the
float, however, was the Big Kahuna himself, senior Dave Heeley,
decked out in a coconut bra and grass skirt, turning in a performance
that left many parade goers a bit misty-eyed.

Bringing up the rear of the parade, nobody gave, what came to
be known as "the little truck that could," much of a chance. However,
the Big Kahunas lived up to their name and their tradition as winners,
and made the first-ever Homecoming Parade a scene not to be
missed."

The Harvest

November 21, 1997
The Westford Regency Inn

"For juniors it was a step up from the Sophomore Social. For
seniors, it was a glimpse of the memories the Prom would bring.
And for any sophomores invited as dates, it was an honor to have
attended the traditionally upper class event.. .Some asked why
anyone would spend so much money on five measly hours of
dancing, sweating, eating and having a blast? Was it worth it?
Yes.. .fresh flowers, special slow dances never to be forgotten,
dressing up, never looking better, cameras flashing... The 1997
Harvest, all dreams and expectations, did essentially become real-
ity for most..." Melinda Patterson '99

The Dream and the Reality

"It would be a Harvest to remember
for more reasons than one. More than
500 students stood in an endless line
during lunch mods to purchase the
"rare" 500 tickets. Was it all worth it?
Some said yes; some said no. It was to
be a night filled with memories for a
lifetime. Even with the overcrowded
dance floor and skips in the songs,
there were echoes of laughter and bad
singing throughout the hotel. After
searching for a table for some 20 odd
friends, it was time to hit the dance
floor again. ..What dance floor? The
rug.. .No one cared. It was all worth
the stress of scrambling for tickets
and finding a date. When dinner was
served it seemed as though some ate
and danced at the same time. And so
it went until 11:15 when the floor be-
gan to clear... ."Amanda Rushton '98

"The dance itself was all right, but it felt like something was missing. It
might have something to do with the fact that of the 500+ people, I knew
about 100..." Chris Hickey '98

"My thoughts on the Harvest
were good music, fun people
and a better time than last year.
They played Reel Big Fish and
Devo... "Crowd" was the key
word..." Allison Dorsey '98

Junior-Senior Semi-Formal

It was a bad night. It was too
much money... too many
kids. ..not enough food. ..the
music was bad. ..you couldn't
dance without stepping on
people's feet... The after-party
was the real deal Holyfield, but
I can't give out any more infor-
mation... Joey Cooper '98

I didn't want to spend $30 for a
ticket,so I planned to sneak in and
save my money. I got caught...

Ben Output ' 98

The one bright spot was my vehicle for the evening. My
ncle let me borrow his Dodge Stealth. 1 looked like James
and rolling into the Westford Regency..." Chris Hickey '98

"1 wasn't at the Harvest. My boyfriend didn't want to go because, "he couldn't dance." Instead, 1
worked from 4-7 p.m. and went out with some friends. 1 heard the Harvest was good and bad.
The good news was they played great music, they had great food, and everyone danced all night.
1 also heard the opposite..." Cinai / Berrios '98

Junior-Senior Semi-Formal 75

"This Harvest was supposed to be the
main event of junior year, but I couldn't
believe how worked up everyone got about
a simple dance, borne girls were sobbing in
the hall when all the tickets were sold out.
I couldn't understand why somone would
go into hysterics because they couldn't
spend a ton of money to get their hair and
nails done, then buy an expensive dress
they'd wear once. Instead, my boyfriend
and I went bowling after going out for
dinner..."

Kim Mical ‘99

"I thought the Harvest was O.K. The se-
lection of music was terrible. I thought
the girls looked very nice. The cost of the
night was way too high. Why wasn't the
Harvest for Lowell High School in Lowell?
Why go to Westford?"... Sean Ronrke '98

"Getting the golden ticket was no trip to
the chocolate factory, as over 500 sold in
less than 24 hours. Most didn't care. They
were on a mission from God to get on the
dance floor!"... Brian Monaghan '98 (last
student to purchase a ticket)

"Great music, lots of food, beautiful dates and close friends. This is without doubt the impression you get
when you think of the Harvest Dance. ..a place to get away from all the problems and stresses that come with
work and school. One night among friends and classmates, just to unwind and have fun. Sounds great
doesn't it? The only problem was that this great night among friends was more of a dream than a reality for
me. I had no stories to tell people of whom I danced with, friends I laughed with, or what I was wearing.
Instead, I had stories of how much chicken 1 cooked and how many dishes I washed. I wasn't one of the lucky
ones who had the opportunity to dress up and take the night off. Instead, I had to work ["...Erie Cunha '98

"The night rolled out into grandeur as students piled into the Westford Regency. Again, there awaited them
another forever-long line. This time students didn't care because they knew that the pictures that awaited
them would be precious. As the photo lines diminished, so did the tables and the dance floor. ..No matter how
good or bad a time students said they had at the 1997 Harvest Dance, it seemed to be the most sought-after
night for memories and everlasting friendships . "...Amanda Rushton '98

A Gastro-experience
for Sure

"Although
no one could
say they
truly
enjoyed
being
crammed
with 47 kids
around a
table which
comfortably
sat 6, no one
could deny
the impor-
tance of
lunch!

Whether you
spent your
25 minutes
copying
homework,
studying for
a test,
socializing,
or actually
eating, it was
time well
spent! Most
of the time
the cafe
seemed less
like a
civilized
place for
eating and
more like a
zoo where
no cages
separated
the animals.
And when
lunch ended
and the
crowds
cleared out,
what was
left behind
often

resembled a
trailer park
that had
been hit by a
tornado!
Doesn't say
much for us,
does it?

Lunch Time LHS Style

"Lunch was always interesting at LHS.
We took this time for many different
things. The remodeling of the cafeteria
gave a new lift to lunch. But, although
the cafe was new, our friends and the
typical lunchtime conversation hadn't
really changed much since freshman
year. For most, lunch was a social hour,
a time to share, laugh, and complain
with friends we didn't see during the
day. There was more than one day we
used out lunch to cram. #/ I have to study
for next period " and "Do you have the
homework for English?" was heard a
lot during lunch. Somehow we never
learned to stop procrastinating and
lunch allowed a time to stress out at the
last minute! Somehow we survived!"

...Diliana Dejesus '99

Lunch Time LHS Style

''My thoughts of lunch often turn to the ageless lunch ladies at LHS. If
you look at old yearbooks, you'll notice that lunch ladies don't age and I
guess they don't take too much stock in fashion. Probably aprons and
hairnets don't change much over the years. We didn't get to talk to them
a lot either, as their side of the conversation was usually, "Hotdog or
hamburg?" or "No more fries." Then they'd throw us a curve ball and
substitute chips for the missing fries. Sometimes out of the goodness of
their hearts they serve Sal's pizza.. .reheated. So, for those of you who
come after me, when you stroll into Lunch Lady Land to the tune of
" Brown Eyed Girl" on the AM radio, you too will probably be thinking....
How old ARE these lunch ladies anyway?"

...Brian Monaghan '98

" When we'd get our schedule in
August, the first thing we looked
at was what lunch mod we had.
Lunch was very important at
LHS; a precious 25 minutes to
stuff our faces, be without a pen
or a book, and be with our
friends, not to mention getting
whatever delightful dish was
served that day/'

...Billie Jo Rousseau '98

"Lunch at Lowell High was
anything but boring. You see, in my
case, I had lunch mod 13 which
proved to be very unlucky. Having
seven classes a day, I had to go
through six of them before I had
lunch. By 11:00 a.m. my stomach
was a barren, empty pit. By mod 11
the sounds it made were mistaken
for a small earthquake. Earlier in the
year I would hope and pray the
snack bar was opened, but for
weeks I'd get there and the see the
metal gate down. I was reduced to
eating hockey puck cheeseburgers
and mushy fries. When I got to the
ketchup I always had that unpleas-
ant thought that someone had spit
in it before I got there just to be
mean. Finally, when I reached my
overcrowded table, someone always
put an elbow in my food. While I
survived lunch, it was the one break
in the day that I had the chance to
socialize with my friends.

....Phil Conners '98

The reminiscences
of a few speak for
so many. High
School was a time
for growth and
change, for dream-
ing and planning.
W<? never thought
we'd miss it!

Sophomore Social

I like to remember the Sopho-
more Social, back to the times
when we didn't worry about all
the stress of being a senior. It
was actually better than the
Harvest 1 attended as a Junior.
All my friends went and we
danced until we smelled like
sweathogs. We laughed about
the sights we observed and dis-
cussed the threads some had
been wearing. The dance was
phenomenal because we put
aside our unruly behaviors and
attitudes and got along like
school children. It's not every-
day you can put 400 teenagers
in a hall and see to it they all get
along. That is when 1 really
started to appreciate my friends.

...Jessica Laffey '98

The Window

One event at Lowell High I
can and always will remember
is the day they covered the large
picture window by the old lock-
ers in the 500 and 600's to begin
renovations. I think back to
those times of staring out at the
defenseless civilians walking
by, not knowing anyone was
watching. But 1 wasl Those
snowy afternoons when I'd look
out that window hoping for
more. It was where we'd meet,
every day after school, so we
could plan our afternoon....all
gone! The freshmen and sopho-
mores will never know how
much those little lockers gave
off so much light. They'll never
experience uncluttered hall-
ways in the new building be-
cause they are now designated
locker space. When that window
was blocked off, a part of LHS
history went with it. The win-
dow was loved. It made people
happy.

...Allison Dorsey '98

The Band, Finally on its Way

In the early 90's, LHS suffered a great loss. The instrumental
program had been wiped out... no more band, orchestra, concert
season, nothing. It wasn't until 1994 that a light finally turned on
in the band room once again. Students from middle schools, along
with a handful of high school students, began to show interest in
a revival. To them it was an art and they could not understand its
non-existence. Some twenty students formed a band, played their
hearts out for fans at LHS football games, and carried on the band
program for the next four years. Most people took in stride the
responsibility of being a band member and fit that commitment
into their already busy schedules.They did it because they loved
their art, because they wished to see the program grow before they
graduated. It worked! In 1997-98 the LHS band held regular
practices, played at every football game, and performed for sev-
eral audiences during the concert season. On October 31, 1997 the
Lowell High Band proudly marched onto Cawley Stadium field in
brand new, much needed uniforms. With smiles on their faces,
these students performed their field show and displayed talent
they had all along. When the last note was sounded, they finally
received recognition from peers, teachers, parents and football
fans. To the students who began their journey in middle school to
graduate to the LHS Band, this was certainly a day to be proud.

Being one of those students in that band of 1994, 1 saw
how the band built itself back up to regain respect from the high
school students on that night in 1997. And while the band might
not be the most popular activity at LHS, it has all the elements to
be one soon. The kids in the band were the greatest thing ever to
happen to me. The band taught me and others respect, a skill, and
a happiness I had never known before. The students stuck to-
gether to assemble over 50 members. So, thanks to all the people
who supported the band over the years, to the band members who
stuck with it in the worst of times, and to Mrs. Fitzpatrick for
drilling it into my head that I had the coordination to march and
play at the same time and that high school kids really weren't as
scarey as I thought.

...Amanda Rushton ' 98

Toys

for

Tots

One event I'll
always remember
was delivering the
toys to the less
fortunate children
at the Murkland
School at
Christmas. I'm
grateful that I got
to experience the
feeling of doing
something that
had such great
impact on them
and us. When we
walked in with
Santa bearing
gifts, we never
knew the
appreciation we
would receive.
One little boy was
so happy he went
around hugging
all of us. After the
kids waited
patiently in line to
see Santa a.k.a
Dave Heeley, they
tore open their
presents with
enthusiasm. They
jumped for joy as
they showed their
gifts to their
classmates. We
made sure
everyone was
happy with their
present, which
wasn't hard to do
because they were
all thrilled. We all
went a little
further that day
doing good for
little kids and
experiencing the
true meaning of
Christmas.
Leaving the
Murkland that
morning I think
everybody was
touched by how
happy those
children were
because of
something so
simple that we
had done.

Billie-Jo Rousseau '98

Organization!

I think what everybody remembers
about Lowell High School most are
the classes they took, their friends
and their teachers. There were always
those teachers who gave you tons of
notes and homework and the funny
thing was, you never though you re-
membered any of it. One teacher
changed my opinion on that. Mr.
Boutselis who taught Biology in my
junior year. He worked us real hard.
He gave notes and homework every
day, but for some strange reason it

struck in my head. He made the classes
interesting, using different methods
of teaching. We worked in the book,
experimented in labs, and watched
science videos. If the class got boring,
Tim Flynn and Eric Cunha took care
of that. They made us laugh. I learned
one important thing in that class. "Or-
ganization is the key to success!" You
know what? It's true. Without those
words, my senior year would have
started off in chaos.

... Cindy Berrios '98

Freshman Baseball

One of the best experiences of my high school
career was as a member of the 1995 Freshman
Baseball team. It was one of the first organiza-
tions I joined at Lowell High and definitely one
of the most fun.

A few of my friends and I, who had been
playing ball together ever since we were little,
went out for the team. Most of us made it as we
were pretty good ballplayers. To have five or six
guys I already knew on the team made me very
happy. Nothing could prepare me for the char-
acters I would meet as the season went on..

We had guys from the Highlands, South
Lowell, Centralville, Pawtucketville, and of
course, Belvedere on the team. It was funny
because, up until that point, kids would natu-
rally hang around with people from their respec-
tive neighborhoods. After about two weeks of
baseball, we found ourselves in a completely
different situation. Guys from one neighbor-
hood were hanging around with kids from across
the city. Highland boys with Belvedere ones,
Centralville with Pawtucketville, and those ruf-
fians from South Lowell falling somewhere in
between. The segregated cliques were no more
and we found ourselves as one huge freshman
juggernaut.

I remember looking at my brother's class two
years ahead of mine and wondering, "How did
they all get together?" As soon as the baseball
season began, the question was answered. What
happened was, one guy would meet another,
that guy would know another, and so on until
everyone knew each other.

If there was one man responsible for this
gathering of the masses, it would have to be
Coach Kevin Noa. This eccentric, but under-
standing man brought us together and guided
us through our first season of high school base-
ball. I firmly believe that it was that freshman
team that provided the stimulus to many great
friendships today. We owe it all to one
man. ..Kevin Noa.

Camp Moosilauke

Probably the worst place to spend on Earth during the last few days of summer is at a hell-
camp somewhere in the unpopulated wilderness of New Hampshire. This awful place of which I speak
is Camp Moosilauke. It is where the football team goes for pre-season training. From the dreaded day
that we arrived to the glorious day when we could finally leave, almost every second spent there was
pure torture.

The first omen that would remind you that camp loomed dangerously close in the future
would be the terrible nightmares that would awaken you in a cold sweat sometime in early August. You
would try to deny the heart- wrenching truth that it wouldn't be long until you headed off to Moosilauke.
Time seemed to be your enemy, as the dog days of summer flew by unyieldingly and "camp" drew closer
and closer. Before you knew it, you were squeezed into the bus with your bags packed awaiting five days
in hell.

Upon arrival, the worst place on Earth seems to be somewhat of a natural paradise with the
beautiful surrounding mountains and its gleaming crystal lake. What lay ahead however, would be no
nature walk. The days would be filled with blood, bruises and early morning runs. The only time to see
the scenery would be as you were making the grueling mile long trek up some mountain back to your
cabin after practice.

The cruel Moosilauke gods seemed to possess the power to make five days seem like five
years. Each day was a horrible punishment that made you ask yourself what you could have possibly
done to deserve such torture. You pray for mercy every free moment you have as you desperately dig
deep inside yourself for the strength to carry on. And just as you begin to lose your will to live, it's time
to go home.

Getting back on the bus, you wonder if you really are leaving or if it is just some beautifully
cruel hallucination. As the bus slowly rolls out and the camp fades away into the background through
the rear window of the rescue wagon home, you are beside yourself with the feeling of relief. Arriving
back in civilization, you cannot help but feel that it is too good to be true. The next morning you awake
with a new appreciation of your comfortable bed. A proud feeling comes over you that you have
conquered Moosilauke. You have been to the depths of hell and survived to never speak of it again.

As I look back upon those painfully glorious memories, don't ask me why, but for some
strange reason-I miss hell. ...Eamonn Sullivan '98

"The bleachers are broken..."

Spirit W eek was one week out of the year
when every day we took time out from one class to
participate in an event with a theme. The first Spirit
Week 1 attended at LHS will forever be imprinted in
my head. For that week was the start of a racial cold
war that no one ever expected. It was "Culture
Day" and it all started when some of the students
decided to bring in their homeland flag to the
festivities. When the Hispanic kids waved their flag
and were rooting for their friends from the stands,
others kids got angry and started cheering about
their heritage. In this case it was Puerto Rico vs. the
U.S.

Things started to heat up and before you
knew it tensions broke out all week between the
"feuding" heritages. By the time Thursday rolled
around rumors were flying so fast you didn't know
what to expect. One rumor was that there would be
a giant rumble outside school at the end of the day.
Some police camped outside of school so the
"rumble" never happened.

Friday was Red and Grey Day and the
event was to be a pep rally. More rumors flew about
what would happen in the gym. I guess word got
around to Headmaster Samaras and his affiliates
because 1 clearly remember the announcement
made over the loudspeaker by Mr. Moorehouse.
" The Pep Rally will be canceled today. The bleachers in
the gym are broken."

That sent a fury through the school. For
the rest of the day the conversation in just about
everone's classroom was about the announcement.
Everyone was upset that the pep rally was can-
celed, but things basically died down after that.
Now every time something is canceled, everyone
knows it's because the "bleachers are broken."

Bells became "tones'' this year, but
we knew that it meant hurry to the

halls.. .lunch was the only break! Re-
quirements and electives, GPA's and
class rank, credits and report cards. It
is said that you remember what im-

right away which of our educational

Faculty

and Administration

Better than a thousand days of diligent study is
one day with a great teacher.../«pa«ese proverb

They took on 3,200 hundred students in 114 homerooms, in literally thousands of
classes. It was their job to urge us through the learning process, whether we were
reluctant, or late, or making excuses, or trying hard and succeeding. We remember
some of our most positive experiences in life surrounding our teachers, and some of
the most grueling. But the realization of their worth will come in time, with experience
and with maturity. We will use the time we spent with our teachers as building blocks,
like those we carve from family and friends.

Some more
reminiscing from
our seniors...
and some not so
suprising
sentiments from
the sidelines.

Things we heard over
and over again from
our teachers...

Where's your homework?

Research report...

What are you doing after high
school?

You aren't supposed to wear that.
Take off the hat, please.

Look who decided to show up.

Take out your books and turn to
page...

Did you study for this?

Your homework for tonight is...
Where were you yesterday?

Why weren't you in my class?

Get rid of your gum.

Oh, you're in? I just sent a card
down on you.

You're in the jug.

Wake up.

This is supposed to be an
honors class.

Hmmmmm.

Sit in your seats.

Were you skipping my class?

Do you have a pass?

Pop quiz.

You were not on the absentee list.
You're challenging my authority.
Don't make me write a card on you.
Are you doing something you
shouldn't be doing again?

Would you like to see me at 1:45?

No talking.

The bell hasn't rung yet, we still
have five more minutes.

We went over this.

Why are you late?

You're going to do an oral report.
Are you related to so and so?

Why don't you have your book with
you?

Get your feet off the furniture.

You can do better than that.

Well, if you'd open a book once
in a while.

Read this by tomorrow.

Essays are due today.

Take off your coat.

Could you please sit down?

You're seniors, you should know
better.

Where are you supposed to be?

Take out your notebooks.

Clear your desks.

No talking.

I'm the teacher, you're the student.
12 absences means an automatic
failure.

When you say "Can I go to the
bathroom?...they say...l don't know,
can you?

Wrestle

Mania!

1 was in the seventh grade and
was a basketball player. One
day my dad opened the
newspaper and saw Dave
McNeil's picture. He was a
friend from baseball. In the
paper it said Lowell's Dave
McNeil would battle
Chelmsford's Tim Lewis, both
undefeated wrestlers. In that
year both Lowell and
Chelmsford were undefeated.
This was going to be a big night
for wrestling. So my dad took
me to the gym.. the lights were
off, loud music came on and
Lowell wrestlers came running
out of the locker rooms. It
looked crazy.. .seats were sold
out and even the fans were
getting pumped. I was thinking
to my self that I loved the sport
and I hadn't even seen the
match.The first match was 103,
Dave and Timmy. I had no clue
what they were doing, how
they were scoring, but it looked
crazy. The fans went wild.
Dave won by a point. I went
home and told my dad I
wanted to wrestle. Right away
he started me up at the Boys
Club. I looked up to all the LHS
wrestlers who were so cool. I
went to LHS and began to
wrestle there. As a freshman I
was already on the Varsity
team. That is when the sport
became more real to me. I was
wrestling with the big kids
now. It was the big time and we
were a good team. We came in
4th place at the states that year -I
and had a 18-2 which was
great. In any other sport it
would have been enough, but
not in wrestling. We had a
winning tradition. A year went
by and we won the states and
finished with a 19-1 record.
Those years were fun, but I was
still the little guy looking up to
the seniors. Now that I am a
senior I wonder if anyone looks
up to me. I call the shots and
don't even think twice about
making a freshman do
something I had to do when I
was a freshman. It is weird to
think I am in the spotlight now
and some freshman might be
saying, "Wow, I wish I could be
like Joe Cooper...." just like I
did with Dave McNeil.

... Joe Cooper '98

Things we heard over
and over again from
our seniors...

What time does this period end?

Can I go to the bathroom?

What do mean no bonus points?

I don't have any work to do.

Where's the paper?

Does this count for a grade?

Don't card me.

Can we have the blonde sub when
you're out?

Do we need our books?

Why do we have to do this?

Can we have a take home test?

After an absence.. .Did we do
anything yesterday?

When are we ever going to use this?
Will this be on the test?

How many more weeks are we
in the pool?

Do we have to do work today?

Can I go to my locker to get my
homework?

Can we have a study?

What test? (after a week of being
told)

This is boring.

We didn't go over this.

I don't know.

Do you have my grades yet?

How many questions are on the test?
Can we have a free period?

Does spelling count?

My printer broke down.

Is it time to go?

Can I get some extra credit work?
Can I get a drink of water?

Is this important?

What did I get on the test?

After a ten minute
explanation. ..How do we do this?

I didn't know we had a test today.
You didn't tell us about that.
Whappage?Whappage?Whappage?
After being absent for days.. .Do I
have anything to make up?

Can I see my grades?

Are we having a final?

I lost my homework.

I've ONLY been absent 10 days.
When they had to work. ..Are you in
a bad mood?

Why can't we chew gum?

I'm tired.

I never heard the announcement...
(even though they're never in
homeroom on time)

1 didn't get the notice.

Can I go to Guidance?

We're alloived 12 absences.

Senior Skip Day... (like it's some
legal holiday)

I wasn't here when you told us.

102

There is nothing so contagious as enthusiasm...

ubs and Activities

There was something for everyone at
Lowell High School. You just had to
show up to participate. After school
hours found kids all over the building
practicing dance, music, chess, the-
atre, writing for the newspaper, plan-
ning community service, working out
math problems, discussing issues,
holding international holiday parties,
or playing intramural sports in the
gym. This year saw a new jazz group,
a game club, a bigger and better band,
and a young women's group.

tudent Government at LHS

Leadership, decision making, service and socializing...

In the fall of 1997 the Student Gov-
ernment said good-by to long-time friend
and advisor Walter Nelson as he moved on
to the position of Athletic Director. Susan
Capone Fineman took over as Coordinator
of Student Activities . W e never looked back
as we began to tackle a number of issues
and events at LHS. ID badges were reinsti-
tuted and students had their own thoughts
about that. Renovations were 95% com-
plete, but there were still some facilities
that needed the final touches. Computers
were rolling into LHS, but not to the long-
term benefit of the Class of '98. In other
areas, the Harvest Dance was so popular,
LHS classes were outgrowing the local
hotel ballrooms for demand for tickets.
Classes of the future look even larger. Park-
ing competition with the newly opened
Tsongas Arena posed a problem for LHS
students and visitors, but Student Govern-
ment spokespersons went right to work on
that. The Freshmen demanded and won
the first ever Freshman Very Semi-Formal
and Spirit Week was planned with our
indispensable input. Toy for Tots was a
raging success at the Murkland School as
we collected over 200 toys for the
preschoolers and kindergarteners there.
We pitched in to take 8th graders on guided
tours of LHS, ran the annual Blood Drive,
and collected a room full of food for Hun-
ger and Homeless Week. We opened the
door to changes in final exam policies and
we studied private concessions for cafete-
ria food. Our influence on these will only
be determined by the future!

ep Club Boosted Spirit at LHS

Lowell High's Fans Kept the Spirit Alive and Well through '98

The newest activity at LHS, the Pep
Club gained wide popularity. Estab-
lished two years ago, it became a great
way to become active in social activi-
ties. The group met on Wednesday
afternoons with about 30 enrolled
members. No official offices were
held, but that may come in the future.
The group decorates the cafeteria and
leads spirit activities in support of
our athletic teams. Members of the
club paint the signs that hang through-
out the halls. The students who take
part in this activity say that the club is
a lot of fun, but another attraction
isthe teacher and advisor Miss "G"
(Gregorczyk) She is so helpful, not
only with the club, but with our own
lives. We like to remember the Home-
coming Parade, the first-ever through
downtown Lowell with full sized
floats on flatbed trucks, the band and
the color guard. In addition, the Mr.
Football election. Homecoming
Queen and toilet papering. The night
before Homecoming, the Pep Club
members wrap toilet paper all over
the place at Varsity player's houses,
then we silly string and shaving cream
their cars. The real fun was not know-
ing if the players were home. Most of
us got caught and chased, but that
was the thrill! ... Jill Lang '99

A.F.J.R.O.T.G

"To educate and train high school stu-
dents in citizenship, promote commu-
nity service, instill responsibility, char-
acter and self-discipline, to provide in-
struction in air and space fundamen-
tals..." This is the mission statement of
Lowell High's Air Force Junior Reserves
Officer Training Course, ROTC for short.
To some, these words represent years of
friendship and hard work, and to others
they represent a foundation for their fu-
ture. However, they do represnt one thing
common to all cadets: A place where
teamwork is a must and respect— the key.
ROTC is more than a class. It is real life. It
is a place where we put aside our differ-
ences and worked together in order to
get a job done. From simple tasks like
raising the flag and taking it down, to
complicated planning like the military
ball and the summer leadership program,
we use that all important teamwork. We
also form many unique friendships,
strong enough to last a lifetime.

... Diliana Dejesus ' 99

" Here we leant responsibility , self-discipline and respect. The best aspects of the program am f
the feelings we get of accomplishment and comaraderie." ...April Gleason ' 98

With the retirement of Dou-
glas Townshend and the arrival of
Andre" Dexotoeaxin the 1997-98 school
year, the forms, sounds and moves of
the Choral Arts Program would be
changed forever.

Many members said that their
vocals were better and that they were
even more eager to win a gold medal.
"But, with any new director comes
change," said Erin Hadley a senior and
veteran of Choral Arts. "And some-
times it is mainly for the best," accord-
ing to Dave Robbins, a junior. One
change was when Mr. D divided the
group into two divisions: Varsity and
Junior Varsity.

From the boys in "drag" to
Jessica Scalese kicking Dave Robbins at
the end of "I Will Survive," memories
were made that would not be forgot-
ten.

With "Let's go do it for the
team!" Fred the Flea, the Mass Hug-
ging Hysteria, wearing silver rings,
"Break your right appendix," Lucky
Chapstick, "Big Pickle," The Phantom
Pee, and running before shows, the
group had enough rituals and lucky
charms that would certainly be remem-
bered through the years. Also remem-
ber: Lowell High gives you credit for
remembering your lines and always
keeping your cool on stage. With your
closing line: "I don't know what I've
been told... The Spindles are gonna win
the gold!" P.S. I know it was tough Mr.
D, but thanks for the info!

The ILC enrolled 700 mem-
bers this year with an average atten-
dance of 125-200 at every event. De-
signed to introduce language students
to cultures and, customs of foreign
countries, the group met monthly to
participate in: Make Your Own Sun-
dae Party, International Festival in
Boston, The Day of the Dead, the
Annual ILC Holiday Dinner, the Feast
of the Kings, the annual Valentine
Carnation fundraiser. Foreign Lan-
guage Week, Cinco de Mayo, and the
end of the year pizza Party.

The most popular event of
the year was probably the Valentine
Carnation sale which used the solgan,
"This Bud's for You!" 3,000 carna-
tions were delivered this year to 114
homerooms from boyfriends, girl-
friends and secret admirers.

The annual trip to Quebec
Canada for the Winter Carnival was
also a hit for some 50 students and
their five chaperones from February
6-9th, 1998 . Events included outdoor
winter sports, shopping, dinner with
French cuisine at Caberet de
Champlain, a trip to Montmorency
Falls, lunch in Old Quebec, a trip to
the Century Inn on the Beaupre Coast,
a ferry boat ride on the St. Lawrence
River, and a visit to the snow sculp-
tures at the festival. In the spirit of
international relations, everyone had
a great time and came back with
memories for a lifetime.

The LHS Science Club pro-
vided a variety of science activities
for its member this year, depending
on their interests. Students partici-
pated in BU Biotech Labs, monthly
Interscholastic Science League com-
petitions, the Science Olympiad,
which allowed competition among
the top students of some 40 high
schools. Science Bowl, Teams Engi-
neering Competition, Science Fair and
the Chemistry Exam Competition. 500
students were enrolled as members
while subgroups participated in the
activities of their choice. In addition
to competition, members also enjoyed
the Museum of Science field trip, the
annual Christmas Party, the Science
Bowl, Teacher Appreciation Party and
the end of the year party. This year a
number of officers served the group:
President Tricia Leyland, VP Priti
Patel, Secretary Sophear Pang, Trea-
surer Tejal Patel, and Science League
Co-Captains April Gleason, Rathana
Yem, James Blair. The Science Club
was advised by Chemistry teacher
Athena Letsou, a veteran advisor to
the club for 14 years!

"The opportunity for intellec-
tual and personal growth
within the Science Olympiad
is immeasurable!"

...James Blair '98

“From 'Bugme' to Termi' questions, the LHS Science League
opened my eyes to new frontiers in science. Each week the League
gathered to plan strategies and lay out blueprints for our mo nt lily meets.
There were three events at each meet. It could be anything from a "bungy
egg drop" to "physics band." Through the League, I learned to work with
others in problem solving situations. I also learned from competitors at
the meet. The LHS Science League was an excellent opportunity toput
practical knowledge to use in "real-life" problems and to benefit from
others' knowledge and learn.

Each fall the BU Biotech Club offere a program where MA high
school students travelled to BU laboratories to learn various aspects of
Biotechnology and Biotech Engineering. In my first year I worked with
recombinant DNA, conducted two science fair projects there, DNAsuars
Phase I & II wher I used my knowledge to develop a procedure where
researchers could insert segments of prehistoric DVA into spliced genes
to figure out the base pairs in the unknown genomes. While my expreiment
had many flaws, I learned a great deal about genetics from BU.

The New England Regional Science Bowl was an all-day com-
petition where teams of four students from high schools aorund New
England participated in a sort of "quiz show." Our team came in 4th out
of 80-100 teams!

The JETS-TEAMS Engineering competition was held at UMass
Lowell with in two parts. The first was a multiple choice question, whil;e
the second was a free response section. The questions could range from
trying to develop the next Olympic style bicycle to developing a space
station. It was one of the most difficult competitions I have ever partici-
pated in.

I got involved in the Science League because of my love for
science and because the competitions allowed me to apply everything I
was learning in school to practical problems in life."

"The club with the most
meetings..." people couldn't believe
how often members of the Game Club
were found after school still playing
board games at 4:30 in the afternoon.
Winters found darkness descending
upon a quiet group of 12-20 students
on any good game day. The goal of the
club was to open the eyes of students
and teachers to the world of Collect-
able Card Games, CCG's, role-playing
games, RPG's and science fiction and
other board games. The population of
LHS found out there were things in life
besides sports and in addition to sports,
and the cafeteria and Room 418 be-
came control central for card-playing
enthusiasts. Officers for 1997-98 in-
cluded: President Dan Lussier, Vice-
President Andy Stokinger,
Ruleskeeper, James Blair, and Secre-
tary Evan Tannheimer. Games played
included: Magic:The Gathering,
Battletech, Netrunner, Star Wars, Star
Trek, Legend of the Five Rings, Middle
Earth, Dungeaons and Dragons, Vam-
pire, The Masquerade, Roborally.
Rules: No betting was ever allowed on
any game played, no games of vulgar
content were allowed, and all hand-
book rules applied except for the ban-
ning of "card" playing. It had to be.
Most games were played with cards of
some sort, but not the classic 52!

Chess Society

According to newly appointed
Chess advisor Jim Clements, "The
purpose of the Chess Society is to
promote the game of Chess that
has been played in intellectual
circles for hundreds of years."
And so the group met every Mon-
day afternoon in the Little The-
atre to match the best of LHS's
analytical minds.

Senior and perennial
player James Blair summed it up
this way. "I got involved in the
Chess Society because my inter-
ests lean toward strategy, strate-
gic card games, chess and even
some strategic computer games.
This club is dedicated to strategy
in its purest form. Here you can
meet and learn from other people,
get the chance to practice one of
the most ancient board games,
and sharpen your ability to learn
from your mistakes and the mis-
takes of others."

Some thirty students
met on a regular basis to play the
game, plan the yearly human
chess match and fund-raising
dance, and to enter scholastic
chess tournaments sponsored by
the Massachusetts Chess Asso-
ciation.

1997-98 Officers: President Paul

LHSN

It was a tough year for the school
newspaper, but one that would find
underclassmen looking to the future
with hope. A skeleton crew of dedi-
cated scholastic journalists took on
the task of compiling a school news-
paper with no computer, no newspa-
per publishing program on site, and
no newspaper journalism class.
Things promised to look up in '99 as
computers began to roll into Lowell
High and the Newspaper Journalism
class was reinstated for the 1998-99
school year.

Getting kids to write for the
newspaper was a hard sell, but the
crew managed to get one edition out
by December with another rolling out
sometime in March. LHS students
hadn't caught on that the newspaper
was their vehicle, a forum for launch-
ing serious debates on school issues
and timely topics. It served as a spring-
board for humor columnists, creative
writers and artists with no commit-
ment other than the interest and the
submission itself. The staff was al-
ways willing to do the rest. Articles
this year included stories on renova-
tions and their impact on student life,
the "no coats" rule that went into
effect, movie and video reviews, and
a full expose of what freshmen though
about being at LHS. Also included
were articles which sought to lend
understanding to the role of the Rain-
bow Connection at LHS. Mocha Java
printed the creative writing of many
LHS students and featured artwork
and photos by others. The newspaper
was advised for the second year by
Ann Bienvenue, with co-editors
Mikhaela Reid, Brandy Grondine and
Dan Simmons.

What began as a class of 19 year-
book journalism students eager to con-
tribute to the production of the 1998
Spindle ballooned into a "seminar" of
30; 19 yearbook enthusiasts, 10 filling
a schedule, and one out of stater who
had yearbook experience. With such a
mix it was sure to be an interesting job
to compile the 1998 memories, stories
and photos of a graduating class of
some 569 seniors. With computerized
layout and design and no computers,
we were faced with the first complica-
tion. Deadlines for portrait photos?...
"Oh, don't I have until June?" Blue
senior information sheets? "I never re-
ceived one in homeroom. "(even
though 550 other seniors had!) Baby
pictures?... "Uh, can I use this one with
my older brother in it?". ..Where are
the names for the team photos? . . . "Gee,
the coach must still have it. I'll get it
someday." Captions?... "Don't you
know a picture is worth a thousand
words?" Due dates for assignments?...
"But I've been absent for four days."...
"Why can't I wear a baseball hat in my
p ortrait? That' s the real me V' ... "Where
are the photo stickers?" "We have no
pictures of the Review staff!" "The
Swim Team photo hasn't arrived!" "We
don't know these kids!" "Deadline???"
"That team never passed in their
memories. "...And so it went. At times
you might think the job would never
be accomplished. But it was, and here
is the proof of the hard work of a
dedicated few. Cheers to all the con-
tributors who spent countless hours
during class and after school in the
production of the 1998 Spindlel With
this edition, I sadly say good-by to
advising the yearbook. Enjoy it for
years to come!

Top Ten Reasons
People are in Band

...by members of the band!

10. The cool songs we play (yeah
right!).

9. We did it for Fred, the Dunkin'
Donuts guy.

8. It's free even with public humilia-
tion.

7. Community bathroom.

6. Back of the bus strip shows were
always an option.

5. Group activities on top of the park-
ing garage.

4. Beating heads with mallets is per-
fectly legal.

3. Free super hero costumes.

2. New Bedford bus rides (enough
said!).

1. Where else can people play with
each others' instruments freely?

the ever-stressful Christmas
show.

It was a year of new beginnings
for the Color Guard. A new coach,
new equipment, and new uniforms
came our way. We actually looked
like a Color Guard! Gone were the
windpants and jackets and in were
the flashy dresses with their own
matching silks and streamers, not to
mention the scrunchies. Along with
looking good came feeling and act-
ing good. We came a long way from
the angles and slams of previous
years. We found it was possible to
do figure eights while moving and
actually catching an ariel on the field.
We could even be Super(wo)man. It
was a year of hard work and frustra-
tions but it was also a year of friend-
ship and smiles.

Cramming for a routine
minutes before we were to perform
made us realize one important thing:
No matter what happened we could
always count on each other. Through
the good and bad, we kept our
bubble alive, never allowing any-
one to burst it. W e learned that noth-
ing was impossible with hard wok
and determination (as long as you
remember your black socks).

"Objection, Your Honor..." This
was heard often as Lowell High's
Mock Trial team defended their side
in the case at hand. This was a team
effort where listening and thinking
on your feet could either make it or
break it. Attempting to prove your
case before an actual judge was nerve-
racking, but hours of preparation and
practice made it easier for the team.
Our competitiors included Lowell
Middlesex Academy, Central Catho-
lic, and Haverhill High. All of the
hard work and determination paid
off as the LHS Mock Trial Team of
1997 came in second place at the Na-
tional Competitions held in San Fran-
cisco. One member, John Sheehan,
received the "Best Witness
Award. "This year the team prepared
for the Nationals in Maryland.

The mission of Mock Trial was to
further understand the law, court pro-
cedures and our legal system, to help
in public speaking skills, reasoning,
writing and critical thinking, and to
heighten appreciation for academic
studies as well as career conscious-
ness for law-related professions.

The skills and friendships
we found in the group will last a
lifetime. It seemed there wasn't any-
thing the team couldn't handle, even
the last-minute withdrawal of a key
witness in our case in State Competi-
tion, trolley rides at 1:00 a.m. to the
Virginia girls, and talking football in
Muir Woods.

We extend sincere thanks
to our Mock Trial Coaches, Mrs.
Roxane Howe and Attorneys Frank
and Patricia Talty.

Top Ten Memories in Mock Trial

10. Nationals Cardinal Rule! It;s good
to lie!

9. "The Picture."

8. "Wicked/'It'saNewEngland thing.
7. Grandma Jess.

6. Judge Wirtanen.

5. Bananas don't fly.

4. Is this in your affadavit... Impeach-
ment?

3. 1 did not swear at the judge!

2. Wantons.

1. "There's a girl with chains at the
door."

GSA Rainbow Connection

Sensitivity, maturity and an
open mind were the components nec-
essary to become a member of the
GSA, Lowell High's chapter of the
Gay-Straight Alliance. While it wasn't
written that these were the ingredi-
ents for a successful club they were
the qualities of every member.

The Rainbow Connection
sought to provide a safe and compas-
sionate ear to students who practiced
alternative sexuality and those who
were simply their friends.

Massachusetts was one of
two states who led the nation in legis-
lation making it illegal to discrimi-
nate against people because of their
sexual orientation, and Lowell High
led the way in providing the opportu-
nity for intelligent forums on the
subject.

Under the advisorship of
Health teacher Janet Dendy, the LHS
GSA brought together students past
and present and their friends for semi-
nars on gay and lesbian issues. Stu-
dents learned how to fend off re-
marks and attitudes from students
and adults alike and heard from mem-
bers of the gay community, their fam-
ily members, their siblings and their
supporters from many fields. Students
learned about their self-worth, their
bright futures, and their ability to
bring about change. This year, stu-
dents of the GSA took brave steps to
publish articles in the school newspa-
per, The Review, which quoted impor-
tant statistics, spoke clearly about dis-
solving stereotypes, and called for
action on the part of all LHS students
to erase homophobia from our halls.
This was the most courageous of all
Lowell High student activities.

Math

"The Math Club at LHS has
two main functions: l.To participate
in math competitions through the
Massachusetts Math League, the New
England Math League and the Ameri-
can High School Mathematics Exami-
nation, and 2. To offer math tutoring
as a service to all LHS students after
school/'said club advisor Sharyn
Walczewski. But, Chuang "Eric"
Huang added a lot to that. "My love
for math and helping people greatly
influenced my getting involved with
Math Club and League. I am also very
fascinated with the language of math.
It is so universal. If all other languages
fail, you can always communicate
with math. Participating in Math
League helps to show others how great
LHS is. The lessons you learn like
teamwork and pride in your school
are some of the best aspects of this
activity."

Lowell High traveled to a
local high school once a month for
competition as members of the MML
in Division IV with seven other area
schools. In the fall, members also at-
tended the Math Invitational at
Worcester Polytechnic Institute and
UMass Lowell. Senior Chris DaCunha
won a $1,000 scholarship at the WPI
competition.

Fifty students rounded out
the 1997-98 Math Club & League ros-
ter.

Judging from the hefty schedule of
any Peer Leader, "spare time" was
not someting they had much of! The
purpose of the Peer Leadership Pro-
gram is to build self-esteem by help-
ing students identify the needs of their
school and their community and to
help them meet those needs. Students
went out into the city to build bridges
between the school, the elderly, the
needy, and the D. A.R.E. Program. This
year members took part in a list of
activities: Sexual Harassment train-
ing for freshmen and the Arts Magnet
School, bell ringing for the Salvation
Army, Christmas caroling in local
nursing homes, working with DARE
and assist as mentors for Lowell's
youth in Project Kids, volunteering at
soup kitchens (YMC A), learning more
about City Corps and other volunteer
organizations in Lowell, Walk-a-
thons; DARE and March of Dimes,
providing support materials for
House of Hope, and many projects
on-going.

"I got involved in Peer
Leadership because I had a few friends
who were always telling me how
much fun they had with the program.
It has helped me in many aspects of
my life, learning a lot about myself
and my school," said Stasha Fyfe, '98.

Abby Lantagne, '99 said
she chose Peer Leadership because
she enjoyed getting familiar with her
community and helping people and
organizations who need help. An ac-
tive S.A.D.D. Chapter is one of her
goals.

"The best aspect of Peer
Leadership is that in any activity I
have volunteered for, I have always
had fun. I felt good about myself after
helping others and being a leader. I
also know that we, as a group, are
paving the way for future peer lead-
ers, so I am looked up to as a role
model," added Emily Byrne.

This year Deborah Mousley
took over as advisor and had many
visions for the future: coordinating
dances, coffee houses, speakers on
timely topics such as drugs, date-rape,
eating disorders, depression and cop-
ing with stress. She also thanks
Healthy Life Skills and DARE.

"Drill team, fall in." The
command was heard every Tues-
day and Thursday as ROTC Drill
Team members prepared for prac-
tice. Four teams made up the
whole Drill Team; females with
weapons, four-man, co-ed with
weapons, and co-ed without
weapons. To them. Drill Team
was more than an after-school
activity. It was a strenuous and
complicated sport, involving not
only the physical aspect of drill-
ing and handling rifles, but also
the critical aspect of coordinating
the drill movements and the
equipment work that made up
the routine. The teams got to-
gether and worked for hours to
perfect each routine. The results:
5-7 minutes competing on the drill
floor. The hard work paid off for
the female team, as they won the
New England Championships
two years running. The four-man
team won first place with a rou-
tine they worked on minutes be-
fore getting onto the floor. The
teams stuck together through
good and bad. "We were all like
sisters," said the females on the
team. They laughed, cried, and
screamed with joy and frustra-
tion; but, they did it together. The
bonds formed these years would
never be forgotten by those who
were part of the Class of '98 and
by those who would remain.

Jazz Qub

"The Fitz Dimension" was
named affectionately after our
volunteer Jazz Club advisor Pat
Fitzpatrick. During the 97-98 sea-
son, Linda Bowden served as
President, Megan Follett served
as President-elect and Kristen
Bovill as Secretary. The club was
activated to expand the musical
experiences of the instrumental
students including improvisa-
tion. Fifteen students took part
regularly to perform at parades,
in and out of school concerts and
any time the crew could get to-
gether.

... "During my junior year, the
Jazz Club was in an experimen-
tal stage. We were just getting
out of the practice room and into
the spotlight. We performed at
the Nesmith House and in the
Apple Blossom Parade in
Westford. We also had a chance
to showcase our talents in the
Christmas and Spring shows and
for the junior highs. I got involved
because of my love for the clari-
net. This was a chance to express
my passion for music while meet-
ing people with the same inter-
est. The best aspects of this activ-
ity for me was being able to share
music with people who may not
have been exposed to jazz."

...Linda Bowden '98

D.E.C.A.

Distributive Education Clubs of America

DECA was designed to en-
hance the cocurricular education of
students interested in marketing,
management and entrepreneurship,
and that's exactly what LHS students
experienced this and every year as
members. Students developed skills
and competence for marketing ca-
reers, built on their self-esteem, expe-
rienced leadership, traveled, and prac-
ticed community service.

Competitive events made
up another phase of the DECA pro-
gram for students. The events were
based on the occupational goals of
each student and were offered by
National DECA as well as state, pro-
vincial or chapter level. Andrew Ste.
Marie summed it all up this way.
"Since joining DECA, I have attended
the NARCON (North Atlantic Re-
gional Conference) '96 in Washing-
ton and '97 in Toronto, went on an
exchange program to the Republic of
Georgia (Russia!) and placed 4th at
states in Food Marketing. I loved
meeting new people, and by joining
DECA I was able to meet students
from the 50 states and Canada and I
traveled to different states and coun-
tries that I otherwise would not have
had the opportunity to visit. It was
memorable fun and I made impor-
tant contacts for my future career.

Barbara Rocha added, "It's
not often that you get to write a 30-50
page paper and enjoy it because by
the time you get to the competitions,
the work is mostly done! And with
this, we really got involved in careers
in the real world, learning a lot about
business by meeting many successsful
people. We learned communication
skills that will help when we're out of
college and out interviewing."

Allyson Gauthier said,
"What made me enter the program
was Mr. Mamalis' presentation. He
said the program was for people who
were interested in business or people
who had no idea what they wanted to
.do after graduation. I knew that was
me so I joined DECA and it's both a
great class and a great club!"

Tim Bugler spoke of the
travel. "I have been to two NARCON
conferences in Washington D.C. and
Toronto, Canada, district competi-
tions here in Lowell, State competi-
tions at Cape Cod (Falmouth). At dis-
tricts I competed in Food Marketing
and came in 4th place."

Thank you Mr. Mamalis!

Fall & Winter Sports

Everyone who participated in sports
at Lowell High was a winner: charac-
ter, strength, and perseverence came
to us as life-long benefits. Anyone
who felt the rigors of practice, the joy
of winning and the pain of defeat
shared teamsmanship,friendship, and
fun. We learned to juggle time, com-
mitment, and responsibility for oth-
ers, and we are all better persons for
it. Thanks to our coaches and spon-
sors for being there to help us and
thanks for all the memories of great
competition.

Kathy Vail. MVC Division I
All-Star: Melissa Bergeron.
Coaches Award: Sousa vanh
Philakhong. Most Improved:
Melinda Patterson. MVP: Me-
lissa Bergeron. Sportsman-
ship: Christine Colameta
With only one win, it wasn't a
season of victory on the
scoreboard. But, together as a
"small" team, we gave it our
all and came out with some

thing more; a lifetime of
friendships and memories, a
sense of self and team accom-
plishment, and a desire to learn
and be-comea "stronger team"
in years to come.

We were truly "champions"
even though the scorebooks
said otherwise. The 1997-98
Cross Country season will al-
ways hold specials memories
for all of us. We tried our best,
became really close and
learned about teamwork.

Memories: "What did I tell you?", "Where's Patty?" Kathy anchor atTewksbury
relays, "Wow, look at her hair!", 3 weekends of rain, high wave. Where are
they? Christina, this is a dirt road. Old Witch Bonnie, pond at Shedd, NDA,
what a flirt, summer lovin', getting lost in the cemetery, Christina's white tee
shirt becoming a target for a bird, MB falling & getting attacked by a dog all in
one day, Patty's bright orange tank in Chelmsford, "a ring on my finger," PB,
tan hat boy, squished all in one car, backyards and streams

"Our unsung hero would
be Sousavanh...she was a
true team player... she was
always there to cheer every-
one on ...she only had a posi-
tive attitude."

146

'The best part of our season was our
win over NDA."

" The hardest part of our season was
having such a small team with two of
our girls injured most of the season. If
everyone had been there to run, maybe
we would have won a few more
meets."

8 Wins and 1 Losses

Captains: Jeff Cimon, Brian
Duffey, Mark Ryan.

Coach: Phil Maia
In brief, we had fun, despite a
tough loss to Chelmsford. The
year was very successful, but
the season taught us not to be
discouraged by an early set-
back. Hard work and dedica-
tion contributed to our wins;
injuries to our loss.

The most rewarding aspect of
the season was that it was
Coach Maia's 100th win and
making States.

When we were asked about
Coach Maia's impact on our
team, we immediately thought
about how he molded us from
a band of social deviants into a
group of merciless killing
machines... but, this is Cross
Country Track after all; we're
really soft-hearted, skinny little
guys. Standouts for this year
included: Jeff Cimon, Mark
Ryan, Matt Theodoros, Julio
Otero, and Brian Duffey. The
unsung hero was Ben Chaput.

The Coaches: Reginald

With a record of 2 and 6, the
girls had a tough rebuilding
season. Coming into a new sea-
son with 2 key losses prepared
them for a tough winter. The
team's confidence and spirit
pulled them to victory while
intimidation contributed to
most of the losses. The girls
showed hard work, commit-
ment and dedication. They
learned to compete under some
tremendous pressure and how

to deal with nerves. Coach
Walker and Coach Douglas
gave support throughout the
season and boosted self-esteem
among the girls. This year's
standouts included Beth
MacLaughlan and Chank-
ressna Khirv, Khirv being the

LHS Returns to the State Tournament
First Time in Fifteen Years!

captains

HockeyTeam Captains: Coach Bill "Beaver" Robinson with
Tobin and Mike Stuart.

The Captains:Dan Tobin, Mike
Stuart.

The Coaches: Bill "Beaver"
Robinson, Bill Robinson, Jr.,
Phil Comeau.

The 1997-98 Red
Raider Hockey Team led by
Captains Dan Tobin, Mike
Stuart and seniors Scott Merrill
and Barry Holbrook, capped
off a convincing 10-10 season
with their first trip to the State
Tournament in 15 years. In
prior seasons the LHS hockey
program suffered greatly and
was lacking support. "Last sea-
son was a tough year and no-
body really paid any attention
to us. But, this year we showed
what we could do and got the
attention we deserved. Next
season will be very produc-
tive," said junior defenseman
Billy Lynch.

This season the focus
changed from just winning to
making the State Tournament.
The team accomplished that
feat and more. It was a great
year for the team and for Lowell
High School as well.

Their victories were focused on
solid defense and constant of-
fense. Losses were atributed to
the fact that at times they didn't
play like a team, but more as
individuals.

Coaching the team to
its first play-off berth in 15
years. Coach Bill "Beaver"
Robinson was the guy who re-
ally motivated his players to
do what needed to be done. He
loved his job and devoted
much of his time doing it.
Standouts included Senior
goalie Scott Merrill who turned
it up a notch at the end of the
season and Junior center Dan
Tobin who, as usual, was an
offensive threat at all times.

The team's roster
loaded with underclassmen,
signified a dramatic turn-
around in participation. We'll
watch the future to see if this is
a Red Raider return to glory!

Running track is never easy
whether you're a distance run-
ner, shot putter, or sprinter. It
takes a lot of hard work, com-
mitment, dedication and team
work. Our 1997-98 Indoor
Track Team experienced that
and more.

Through hours of practice there
were always three incredible
coaches who were there for us
every minute, watching and
supporting their team through
good times and bad. From in-
dividual bests of seven gradu-
ating seniors and teammates,
to the new school record hold-
ers Ashley Cole (frosh 50
hurdles) and Ana Kincaid
(school 50 yard dash) it was
truly "a season to remember."
Everyone was a hero on this
team.

"This was a season to re-
member. A good way to end
our senior year!

if they worked hard they could
achieve their goals, knowing

it would be rewarding in the
end. This year the team was
plagued by illness and injury,
but they made up for it with
pasta and Chinese food at the
end of the season. And the
coach? "She pushed us to our
limit and never let us give up."
The team standouts included

was that if you believe you can
win, and focus on that, it will
happen... Our victories were
won with hard work and
perseverence: our losses from
overconfidence and injuries.

The most difficult aspect of the
season was losing 1-0 against
Lexington at States. ..The most
rewarding aspect of our sea-
son was that we all got along so
well and that helped us to play

a great deal of confidence and
positive attitude.. .Meghan

6 Wins 14 Losses

The Captains:Phil Conners
and Adam Gagnon.

The Coaches: Scott Stapleton,
Head Coach; Chris Crowley
Assistant Coach;Pat Sullivan,
JV; Adrian Mitchell, Asst; Jim
Donnelly, Freshman.
Adjusting to someting new is
always a challenge. Coach
Stapleton began his fiorst year
as Head Coach with high hopes
and expectations. "Return to
Glory" made its mark on a team
that never gave up. The team
managed to have fun often at

the expense of Brian Duffey
and Nuwoe Goteh. One satis-
fying win came on the road at
North Middlesex where we
came out on top 84-61. Josh
Rivera's consistent three point
shooting and Phil Conners'
suffocating defense assisted in
the great court savy of Adam
Gagnon.

Awards: FLHS Award s-Bob
Bigelow Award to Adam
Gagnon & Phil Conners. Most
Improved went to Bobby
Michalzyk.

" Learning the new coach's
system took a while to set in,
but when it did, we were a
formidable squad."

The Captains: ChanthSo, Joey

The most rewarding aspect of
this wrestling season was plac-
ing 2nd at Division I States.
Nobody though we were go-
ing to do anything. Our team
was considered very weak at
the beginning, but we proved
a lot of people wrong... Coach
Bossi taught us so much this
year and Coach O'Keefe kept

pushing and kept some of us
from giving up on ourselves.
...Everyday was difficult. We
were the hardest working team
in the state. Other teams even
told us that.. .Everyone pulled
together and gave it their all...
Hard work and perseverence
paid off... The younger kids
stepped up and worked hard.
We came a long way...Chanth
So stood out as a State and all-
State Champ. We made memo-
ries.

The Captains: Kerry Akashian

The Coaches: Lori Loureiro &

MVC All-Stars:

Kerry Akashian & Cassie
Fleury.

MVC All-Conference-Sarah
Cormier.

The season taught us to work
well with teammates and that
we shouldn't worry about
messing up. It also taught us to
concentrate on play and not let
anything bother us...

Our victories came this year
when everyone on the team
stuck together and communi-
cated on the court... The most
difficult loss was to Dracut. We
lost big time, and didn't even
give them a good game... The
most rewarding aspect of the
season was playing three
games with Haverhill who
were ranked very high in the
state. We didn't win or qualify
for states, but we gave them a
good match.

show efficiently how good a

Team Captains: Pat Martin,

Coach: Charlie Raras.

During this season, we stayed
in it to the very end. We made
the states and beat Chelmsford
twice. It was great... Most of
our victories were due to our
strong lineup all the way to the
number 8 guy. ..The most diffi-
cult part of the season were the
long, tough practices when we
had to do ten laps around the
entire course at Mt. Pleasant.

The most rewarding aspect of
the season was making the
State tournament. . .If it weren't
for Coach Raras and his "tough
love" during those long, hard
practices and running sprints,
we would never have made it
as far. . . Standouts? Our juniors
who came through big when
they had to... Unsung hero:
Mike Nugent with his strong
team attitude all through the
season. ...Hop on the bus Gus!

Notable: Beating Chelmsford in
Chelmsford for the first time in 15
years. ..13th of 22 teams in the State
